What a difference a press makes

This has been a great week, busy but good things happened. I had my grandson two days which is always good but I also got a lot of art done. I’ve been doing watercolor monoprints and printing by hand. I’ve posted some in the past. This week I did several plates and my good friend Annie Morgan suggested I print them using her press. That’s what I did today and here they all are hanging on the line drying.

I still need to scan, cut mats and frame. So far I’ve gotten one scanned, “The Gang’s All Here.”

I love doing this and I’m happy with the results, especially now that I know I can use a press to print them. I’ve been doing small ones, this is the largest and it’s just 8 x 8. This is something I can do while my grandson is here because it’s fairly portable. At least one of those I finished today is a repeat of one I had done before and printed by hand. I’ll post those when I get the scanning done.
